Science the week of Dec 13-17

This week in Science:

4th graders- Environments: We are spending our last week learning about food chains and food webs. We will be working on a food web poster this week, where we combine all the new vocabulary we have learned over the past few weeks including producer, consumer, omnivore, etc. onto one diagram.

5th graders- Living Systems: We are continuing our learning about circulatory systems from last week. We are also learning about the digestive system this week. We will spend time on the computers at interactive websites where we can see how our circulatory and digestion systems work.

Science the week of Dec 6-10

4th graders- Environments: We are continuing our lesson on food chains and food webs this week. We will learn the definitions of herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore, spend some time on the computers viewing interactive food webs, and start on a food web poster project.

5th graders- Living Systems: We are starting our new unit, Living Systems this week. We are learning about cells and similarities and differences we have with other multicellular organisms. We are also starting to learn about the circulatory system, which we will continue next week.
